Please separate each response question, do not create one extremely long paragraph all jumbled together. (Total of at least 400 words or more)
1. What does it mean to examine social problems using a sociological imagination? Use your topic of choice to think about how you would look at some of the social problems that exist from a functional, symbolic interaction, and conflict perspective. Let’s start with Functionalism!
2. Functionalism: functionalism views social problems as arising from society’s natural
evolution. When a social problem does occur, it might threaten a society’s stability, but it does not mean that
fundamental flaws in the society exist. Accordingly, gradual social reform should be all that is needed to address
the social problem.
How do we agree with this concept and How do we disagree with this concept about the functions of social order? Explain using sociological terms or concepts from the text. 3. Conflict: Conflict theory in its various forms views social problems as arising from society’s inherent inequality. Depending
on which version of conflict theory is being considered, the inequality contributing to social problems is based
on social class, race and ethnicity, gender, or some other dimension of society’s hierarchy.
Why does conflict theory favor social change as a means to reduce inequality? (What does this really mean for society) 4. Symbolic Interactionism: Both [Functionalism + Symbolic] perspectives emphasize the subjective nature of social
problems. By doing so, they remind us that perceptions often matter at least as much as the objective reality in
determining whether a given condition or behavior rises to the level of a social problem and in the types of
possible solutions that various parties might favor for a particular social problem.
What does it mean for a social problem to be subjective? What does it mean for a social problem to be objective? **Provide an example using one of your sub-topics within your chapter
